Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable rating for hypertension as there was no evidence of diastolic pressure predominantly 100 or more, and his condition is controlled by continuous medication.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran does not have a history of diastolic pressure of predominantly 100 or more and his hypertension is controlled through the use of continuous medication, which is contemplated by diagnostic code 7101.
